Push past the pain It’s a mind over matter game A battle of the fear of God over fame My insides are yarns of madness my rent is not paid, my credit score low, my loans not approved, my bills overdue Be resilient In this time of testing faith As you walk alone through gates Be…
Temple Of Time
How can I make A temple of my time How does what I do Give reason to my rhyme A God, A Lord, Reigning seven days a week. Not an afterthought For the seventh. May Him always I seek. So as I rise May He rise in me. As I drive May He drive through…
Reflections From A Seasoned Veteran
A quest for stasis Amidst the unrelenting flux. Ought I to pursue permanence In the face of inevitable revolution? Or must I cede to the torrid blaze, Yield to the detritus and decay, Surrender to the somnolence and silence, And act as though some fleeting verdant renaissance, Forms adequate compensation For the impending gusts of…
God Of All Seasons
The summer heat can be hard to bear Tough times for good people just doesn’t seem fair The Australian summer seems intent on suffocating life Drought, flood, fire, illness – continued strife Yet the Lord watches over me and is my shade at my right hand1 Autumn leaves change colour and fall across the land…
